If you are a careful jade fan, then you will notice that most of the Buddha statues in the jade carvings seem to have their eyes closed. In fact, it is a state of sorrow. It is said that the eyes of Bodhisattva and Buddha are "two separate, eight-point closed, two-point view, eight-point view, two-point view, eight-point view, and a Zen."
There are several explanations for this, so let's take a look:
1. The meditation of Buddhism pays attention to the quiescent state of “no outside, no temptationâ€, half-squinting, and it is also conducive to the practitioner not to sleep. Therefore, in the imagery, the craftsmen will also adopt this image, representing the Buddha and the Buddha into the "Zen" state.
2, Bodhisattva, Buddha half closed eyes, meaning "always watched, not staring at people", meaning not to think about other people's mistakes, the monastic is to repair their own.
3. Of course, some people say that half-blinking symbolizes "compassion" and represents the reluctance of six. It is a pity for all beings, and at the same time it cannot bear the pain of seeing all beings.
Moreover, the world we see with the naked eye is wrong and upside down. The Buddha slightly closed his eyes and taught everyone to look at the world with heart, so that they can reach the realm of "Zen".
By the way, let me also talk about how to choose jade and jade Buddhas (this is a very common jade carving on the jade market~~)
First of all, the Buddha's appearance
Looking at the Buddha usually looks at the facial expression at first glance, is it happy enough to laugh, it is best to look at the kind of laughter you want to follow, so when you are fine, look at the Buddha you are wearing. It is difficult to be unhappy. Also, when choosing the emerald Buddha, you should also see if the face is clean. Try not to have any impurities, cotton wool or cracks, because these will affect the value and appearance of the jade Buddha.
Second, the form of the Buddha
Whether it is standing Buddha, happy Buddha or sitting Buddha, it is best to choose thick and full in the same material. For example, the standing Buddha is best full and has a three-dimensional sense of exquisite embossing.
In short, there is a sense of existence in the thick and full, and it is better to sit up in the belly and bulge, because it also means a blessing and discouragement. Therefore, when choosing, you should choose a big belly, but you should also stop it. If you are too big, it will affect the whole proportion of the Buddha, and the aesthetics will be affected.
Teeth - it is necessary to pick teeth, because such old, old materials can be so delicate on the teeth, in fact, this is also a basis, but does not mean that the Buddha without teeth is not old enough, specifically depends on The color of the material itself.
In fact, in addition to the material itself is easy to engrave, the teeth also have a certain connection with the master's own engraving style or design concept, so it is not possible to choose the Buddha.
Face - smile is always the law of our endless life, so the face of Jade Buddha is best to be clean, try not to have any impurities, cotton wool, cracks, etc., but also requires a smile, a smile, give People feel a sense of comfort, so when choosing Jade Buddha, be careful not to choose the yin and yang face with asymmetrical left and right.

Belly - the so-called Buddha selection of Maitreya, its biggest feature is that the belly is big and round. "Big belly" means "greatness", showing the tolerance of the wearer.
(ps: The more precious the value of the emerald Buddha, then its engraving work is correspondingly more delicate, such as its five fingers will be carved vividly, the texture is clearly visible, not at all.)
Third, the size of the Buddha
You can choose according to your body size. Don't wear a large piece of Buddha on your own body. Even if you don't consider whether it is beautiful or not, consider whether your cervical vertebra can bear it, or if you have a big cow but you get a small size. Exquisite Buddha wear, do not say that others are really not good to find that you have worn the Buddha. So don't deliberately pursue the size, the key is the right proportion, suitable for yourself.
A yashmagh, also known as a shemagh or keffiyeh, is a traditional Middle Eastern headdress typically worn by men.
